Good.

So, how does it work out for you? Allegedly, blackletter aides word
recognition (it doesn't for me). »JSL Blackletter« might not really be
appropriate for on-screen display, though, it seems a bit washy.

By the way, this font is not a *fraktur*. It is textualis (which I find
much more pleasing); its squiggled capitals might not really suit a
capital-heavy language like German.
